LEEDS Bradford Airport will temporarily reintroduce restrictions on carrying liquids over 100ml from tomorrow.

The change will come into effect from midnight on Sunday, and will also affect passengers travelling from London City, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Southend and Teesside airports.

All of the airports have Next Generation Security Checkpoints (NGSC) in operation, which had allowed them to scrap the rule.

The high-tech CT scanners create a 3D image of what is inside passengers’ bags.

The 100ml rule was introduced in 2006 following a foiled terror plot to blow up planes flying from London to the US with home-made liquid bombs.

A post on Leeds Bradford Airport's X account read: "The Department for Transport has today issued new security guidance on liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGS) in hand luggage.

"From Sunday, June 9, liquid containers up to 100ml may be carried through security in your hand baggage.

"When travelling out of Leeds Bradford Airport, liquids do not need to be placed in a plastic bag and do not need to be taken out of your bags prior to screening.

"There is no specified limit to the number of 100ml liquid containers that may be carried.

"Existing exceptions for prescription medicines and baby formula in containers greater than 100ml will continue to apply, these items must be removed from bags and screened separately."

A Department for Transport spokesperson said: “This temporary move is to enable further improvements to be made to the new checkpoint systems and will only affect a small number of passengers.

“For most passengers, security measures will remain unchanged.

“Passengers should continue to check security requirements with their departure airport before travelling.”
